Watch: All the Easter Eggs Taylor Swift Hid In Her New Heights Appearance

Travis Kelce is just saying yes to every moment he has with Taylor Swift. 

During the “Cruel Summer” singer’s appearance on the Kansas City Chief tight end’s podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis got sentimental while recalling how drawn he was to Taylor, explaining that he was grateful he’d witnessed her on the Eras Tour.

“If I would have never gone to that show and been mesmerized and just been captivated,” Travis shared on the Aug. 13 episode of New Heights, “and then left with such a desire to want to meet you, I would have never went on here and told everybody how butt hurt I was.”

The 35-year-old added, “I had never just been so engulfed in the curiosity of who you were.”

Taylor, also 35, was incredibly touched by the sentiment, telling her boyfriend of two years, “That’s really beautiful.”

But Jason quickly jumped in to break up the romantic moment, joking, “One of the best things about that last statement is you didn’t even know what the word ‘engulfed’ meant before you met Taylor. You have broadened your horizons.”

However, Travis wasn’t deterred by his brother and continued telling Taylor how special she is to him, saying, “She makes me so much better.”

“You see you on the stage. And you see how crazy you can get an entire stadium going,” he gushed. “And then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever.”

Travis continued, “It was just the easiest conversation I ever had and it was just so much fun, that it just knocked my socks off.”

For her part, Taylor appeared to be incredibly moved by the NFL player’s confession, holding onto him and saying, “I felt the same exact way about you.”

Travis kept the romance going, looking Taylor in the eye and telling her, “I had never experienced something so mesmerizing on stage and then so real and so beautiful in person.”

Once again, Jason jumped in to give some levity to the moment, asking, “Should I leave?”

To which Taylor jokingly responded, “Yeah, I think so. Honestly. At this point I think everyone should leave.”

Luckily for fans, the entire podcast episode gave a unique look at Travis and Taylor’s relationship, even detailing their first date, with the “Fortnight” singer admitting she knew absolutely nothing about football at the time.

“On our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field,” she explained, “and saw his brother standing five feet away from him on the field.”

Thankfully, Travis explained to her how the game actually works—and that the brothers never played at the same time due to their offensive positions. Aside from his patience in breaking down the game, Taylor added that “he could make me laugh so immediately.”

As the couple’s love story goes, Travis Kelce landed on the Taylor Swift‘s radar when he shared his frustrations in failing to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at Eras Tour’s Arrowhead Stadium stop on a July 2023 New Heights podcast episode.

Well, according to Taylor, Travis “didn’t even reach out” to her management to set up a possible meeting in the first place.

“He thought because he knows the elvator lady, that he could talk to her and just talk to her about getting down to my dressing room,” she quipped in an August 2025 New Heights episode. “He really was just like, ‘I know a guy. I can figure this out.'”

As for the friendship bracelent, Taylor said she’s still “never seen the original.”

The Grammy winner admittedly fumbled on asking the Kansas City Chiefs tight end a football question during their first date.

“I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field,” Taylor recalled, “and saw his brother standing five feet away from him on the field.”

Two years later, Taylor realized it was an “insane question” to ask since the brothers were never on the field at the same time due to their positions. Still, she said Travis kindly and patiently explained the game to her during their date.

“He was like, ‘Actually, I’m on the offense and my brother is on the offense. I’m only on the field the same time as the defense,'” she recounted. “I thought everyone was on there at the same time.”

“A huge green flag,” Taylor noted, “is that Travis has had the same friends since he was probably 4 years old. And he’s incredibly good at maintaining friendships and he’s so loyal and his friends are equally loyal.”

And after bonding with his pals in the NFL box at Arrowhead Stadium, she added, “They’re the funniest most hilarious group of people.”

And Taylor’s game day behavior impressed Travis, too.

“You wanna talk about green flags?” he quipped. “The first game she went to, the Bears game, she literally went through the front door of the stadium, though general admission.”

”That move immediately convinced him she was down to become part of Chiefs Kingdom: “I was just like, ‘Oh, she’s just in it. She’s down for the ride. She’s here for the fun.’”

Another thing Taylor appreciates about her NFL star boyfriend? The fact that he didn’t judge her for her lack of football knowledge.

“You’re so nonjudgemental about people and you weren’t judgmental about the fact I knew nothing about the world you were in,” she told Travis. “I didn’t know what a first down was. I didn’t know what a tight end was.”

And while Travis responded, “I am forever thankful for you diving into the football world whole-heartedly,” Taylor noted she did more than dive in.

“I became obsessed with it,” she said. “My friends were like, ‘Who body snatched you?'”

“Whatever Andy Reid says, we’re gonna stand by,” Taylor responded. “That’s what happened.”

She revealed that her dad Scott Swift has been longtime friends with the Kansas City Chiefs coach, so Andy has been coming to her concerts for years.

Noting that her dad “is the most social man who’s ever been born,” Taylor explained that she’s “always had a really positive vibe” when interacting with Andy.

“I didn’t really know what the sports were that he was doing but I knew that that was my dad’s friend Andy Reid,” she added. “I now know that he is the most iconic, legendary coach of all time.”

“I’d say all my hobbies could be categorized as hobbies you could have had in the 1700s,” Taylor quipped. “I like to sew—I specialize in children’s purses and baby blankets. I love to paint. I love to cook.”

In fact, she admitted that she has a “different baking obsession every six months,” with sourdough being the one that’s “taken up my life” during the episode’s recording.

“I’m always baking bread and texting my friends like, ‘Can I send you some bread?,'” Taylor added. “I’m on sourdough blogs. There’s a whole community of us, and I didn’t know it.”

While speaking about her love of baking, the “Blank Space” singer shared she’s been working creating a new variety of sourdough bread for Jason and wife Kylie Kelce‘s young daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finnley.

“There’s one I’ve been workshopping for the girls because they love everything rainbow: Funfetti sourdough,” she revealed. “Because they love sprinkles. We put sprinkles in everything when we hang out.”
